Break Out Individual Fields In A Text Line
Jul 20, 2009
I'm not getting this at all I suppose. I've tried so many variations to split the lines into individual fields and I still cannot get it to do what I want.
I have to get lines from a sequential file which read like:
CODE:
And load them to a listbox like this:
CODE:
With the ID # padleft(10, "0") and the commas eliminated, and only the Last Name, First Name and Middle Initial showing.
This is my mess of a code (it is just one of many variations)
CODE:
I've got the ID field right but the rest just shows up as it is in the file commas and all.

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.

I need to add line break after the following in the textbox.
txtBody.Value = "Dear " & Trim(tblProperty(0).Item("Contact")) & ","
I've tried so far 'ControlChars.CrLf', ..., 'vbNewLine', 'vbCrLf', ... at the end.

Im not too sure if this is the correct place for this question, but I couldn't find anywhere else..Heres what i want to do. I have two tables in an Access DB. TableA and TableB. Each Table has only one column called Picture, and that column is filled with the names of pictures (picture1, picture2, picture3, etc)
Thing is, that The pictures in TableA have equivalent pictures in TableB. They are not named the same, but the pictures themselves are the same i.e.: TableA Picture1 = TableB Picture3, TableA Picture2 = TableB Picture5.
What i Would like to create is a form that has two datagrids, or Listboxes populated with the data from each table. One for TableA, One for TableB. When the User selects a picture from one of these controls, The other control must show which picture the selected one corresponds to (if i select TableA Picture1, TableB Picture3 becomes selected showing that they match)
I think that most of the work will be at the actual DB, somehow linking each and every field, maybe a one to one link between fields/cells in the DB, then in VB calling that one record that was clicked on, seeing what relation it has to the other table,

I am trying to replace any line breaks in a rich-text-box with <br />.
For example
"Hello
My name is Jammy780
How are you?
Goodbye"
Converted:
"Hello<br />
My name is Jammy780<br />
How are you?<br />
Goodbye"
I have tried this:
html1bdy.Text = Replace(html1bdy.Text, "
", "<br />")
But when I run the program it doesn't work. Just inserts it normally.

We can reproduce it to the point it happens whenever we click Tab, but short of putting a break point at the beginning of every method in the project to find out what is executing.
Is there a way to set visual studio to break whenever anything executes?

I wrote a VB.NET application to send notifications by SMS using an SMTP gateway [URL]..The message includes line breaks and display well under most providers but not all.For some providers, the message will display in one line with line breaks showing as "0D0A" which just won't work for me.
Is therea solution to this problem?Using an SMS agregator is out of the question for my solution.
Yes, I did that. Turned out to be carrier specific. Yet another problem i am having is specific to the phone model (one specific user receive the messages well on his old razor, changed to a new motorola phone with the same carrier and now receives an empty message).

Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim oTable As Word.Table

The problem is, if the data in the for each loop extends to next page, I want the entire data in for loop to move to next page. I think of adding a page count integer and verify it with starting and ending to determine and change the page.The problem is I dont know how to insert a page break at a specified line number. page break is Word.WdBreakType.wdPageBreak but how to insert it at a line number?

I'm fiddling around with trying to make a sort of map/world. I'm using 16 x 16 pictureboxes named PictureBox1, PictureBox2, etcThe issue is that when I put the images into all the pictureboxes, I have to have a line for each picturebox (so say I have 100 boxes, I have 100 lines).The only difference in each line is the picturebox number, the rest is identical. I'm basically telling it to set that picturebox's image based on the number that a variable I've created has stored.I've got a game idea, and I'm just trying to figure out how to do the map. I want it to work like the old school RPG games like Dragon Warrior, or the more recent Dwarf Fortress. I'm still not sure if I want to use graphics or letters. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out how I can create the main screen where the user moves around. This is what I've come up with, as it works with what I know. I'm pretty new to this, although I've messed around with VB6 a lot.
Dim tile(30) As Integer
Dim tilelocation(3) As String
Dim x As Integer

I just got Windows 7, so I re-installed VB 2008 Express and have been met with some weird issues. One of which is when my program is running it used to break on a line where an error was occurring and tell what it was and let me fix it and continue. So I can see the error in the Immediate window but why is it not breaking on the line? It just continues loading the program. Is there a setting I'm missing?

experience on how to create an engine using C# (VB.NET is okay too) that is generic enough to handle most cases of MS Word text fields I need to fill with data I'm getting from a database?

I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt"
edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file)
Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.

Just suppose that I define a structure, and an array such as
Structure Person
Dim First_Name as String
Dim Last_Name as String
[code]....
Can I fill in my list of people using a single line of code for each record? Something like this, it doesn't work, but this shows the sort of thing I mean.
My_List(0) = {'John', 'Smith', 24, '555-1234'}
My_List(1) = {'George', 'Jones', 31, '555-8123'}
My_List(2) = {'Tom', 'Green', 40, '555-3434'}
It's easy enough to fill it in line by line. I could do that without problem. But I want to be able to look at the code and see the contents of each line. Doing it as above would make it easier to read.I could make it a multidimensional array of strings, rather than a structure.If it makes any difference I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

I need to put 2 different fields on the same line/row/subscript, into a one-dimensional array or list. I've done this before with a delimiter and then parsed it out later, but I wonder if there is a nicer way to do this?

"John,Address1" PERSON_ARRAY(0)
"Greg,Address2" PERSON_ARRAY(1)
